Webinar: Dunera and the Wiener Library

The British Dunera Interest Group invites to another online event. Dr Barbara Warnock will be speaking on the topic “Tracing the story of the HMT Dunera in the archives of The Wiener Holocaust Library” on 20 May 2024 at 8 pm CEST (9 PM British Summer Time). Participation in the webinar is free of charge.

Dr Warnock will talk about the Vienna Library’s documents on the Dunera and the experiences of fellow travellers. The Holocaust Archive’s collection includes a wide range of documents – from eyewitness accounts to official documents – about the lives of Jewish refugees in England, the transport of internees on the Dunera to Australia and their lives there.

The webinar is organised by the Dunera Interest Group and the Association of Jewish Refugees. The speaker is Senior Curator and Head of Education at the Wiener Library. This organisation was founded in 1933 by Alfred Wiener, and documents the persecution of Jews by the Nazis. Today, The Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide is based in London. There is a German branch in the Jewish Museum Berlin.

Registration is possible via the British service provider Ticket Tailor.
